6 Selecting an External Heatsink
24 YASKAWA ELECTRIC TOBP C710606 21D YASKAWA AC Drive - V1000 Finless Installation Guide
NOTICE: Due to uneven compound thickness, uneven heat generation across the heatsink plate or other
factors, the actual heatsink plate temperature (monitored in U4-08) can be slightly different from the
calculated value. An oH drive fault may occur if the heatsink plate temperature exceeds the maximum
allowable value.
